National Solidarity

Folk games have long been viewed as a vivid picture reflecting people’s materials and spiritual life accumulated through multiple generations. Folk game, whether it serves as an entertainment activity in idle seasons, leisure time, or just jollity for children; is aimed at the solidarity and unity of the communities, villages, and the entire national solidarity. Folk games were once a page of precious memories imprinted on the homeland and villages, which nurtured people with good lifestyles and souls. Nevertheless, these days, the role of folk games is no longer blooming as before. The preferences and ways of entertainment of all classes of people, especially the youth, witness more or less changes. For the Khmer residing in the South of Vietnam, an ethnic group associated with the rice farming tradition, folk games in particular and folklore, in general, are of prime importance. This article presents the origin, gameplay and recognizes the cultural values of folk games in daily life and festivals of the Khmer people in the South to contribute to popularizing and preserving the beauty of Khmer culture in today’s society.

User Groups

Understanding your user's daily life and interests is essential in providing insights that can be leveraged to define new design opportunities.  However, when designing for older adults, this can be challenging because, users may find it complicated to express themselves; designers may have difficulties to take their perspective and empathize with them. This paper introduces the Leisure Time Canvas, an empathy toolkit designed to facilitate older users to share stories about their activities and hobbies, to elicit their perspectives, desires and needs, and thereby inspire the design process. We report on the design of the canvas and its explorative use with six older adults and reflect on the resulting stories and design implications. This canvas aims to facilitate interaction between designers and user groups that may be difficult to empathize with or experience challenges in verbalizing their needs.

Individual Level

Background: Over ¾ of Americans fail to meet the AHA recommendations for leisure time physical activity (LTPA), with higher proportions found among lower income adults. However, this association may be moderated by activity levels that are necessary as a part of daily life, such as active transportation among those that cannot afford a vehicle, or physical labor in some lower wage-earning occupations. Data are limited to studies either not distinguishing between occupational and daily life PA, or using broad occupation job titles which may not represent the PA on an individual level. Objective: Determine the association between activity levels of daily life and LTPA. Methods: Participants were adults (20+ years) from the 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Analyses were stratified by self-reported lifestyle (work, housework and school): 1) sedentary during the day (n=4233); 2) minimally active: stands or walks but does not carry or lift things often (n=11,853); 3) moderately active: carries light objects, or climbs hills often (n=4117); and 4) and very active: carries heavy objects (n=1586). Multivariable linear regression analyzed the association between annual household income (<$20K, $20K-45K, $45K-75K, $75K+ [reference]) and self-reported weekly minutes of moderate, vigorous, and total LTPA. Analyses included sampling weights to account for NHANES’ complex sampling design and adjusted for sex, age, marital status, ethnicity, weight status, whether the person actively commuted, and number of hours worked per week. Results: Lower income participants that were either very active, or sedentary during the day reported significantly less LTPA than those with comparable daily life activity levels but annual income $75K+. Conclusions: A gradient relationship between income and LTPA was seen in the two lifestyle extremes: the sedentary and very active. Public health actions aimed at increasing LTPA should be multimodal and aimed at changing both messaging and environments likely to promote LTPA.

Do So

Before any attempt is made to solve the problem with which this paper deals, it is necessary to convince the reader that the problem exists. Much is written and said to-day about class distinctions, both by those who announce with satisfaction their growing disappearance, and by those who half guiltily admit their existence, but it never seems to occur to such writers that the nature of these distinctions is itself something of a mystery. We take it for granted as one of the most obvious and commonplace facts of daily life. It seems hardly likely that the examination of a thing so ubiquitous and immemorial will yield anything new. My object will be to maintain that this attitude is mistaken, and that the idea of “class” is not really self-explanatory, but deserves a closer analysis than it usually gets. And if this proves to be the case, it must be admitted that the subject is of importance. Many political and social problems are deeply involved in the fact of class distinctions. Many who believe in a possible regeneration of human society would gladly surrender much to secure a world where poverty should be no more, yet hesitate before the prospect of a loss, through diffusion, of cultural values which they feel to be infinitely precious, and which give to the existing order a greater claim to permanence than it would otherwise possess. We most of us hardly know our own minds in this matter. We yield social distinctions their place, but we do so shamefacedly, as though confessing to a mere unjustified conservatism.
